ROTARY TABLE FOR OVENS.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, LENA R. LIGHTLF., a citizen of the United States, residing at Chewelah, in the county of Stevens and State of Washington, have Vinvented certain new and useful Improvements inv Rotary Tables for Ovens; andjI do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art t-o which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention hasfor its object to provide a rotary table structure designed to be supported in the oven of a cooking stove, and providing means whereby the articles to be cooked may be revolved to insure uniform cooking thereof.

With this and other objects in view, the invention consists in the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter specifically described, claimed and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which:

Figure 1 represents a horizontal sectional view through an oven, showing the invention applied to use,

Fig. 2 represents a fragmentary vertical sectional view through the oven, showing i the rotary table,

Fig. represents a plan view of the supporti-ng base of the rotary table.

Fig. 4 is an enlarged sectional view Athrough the central portion of the table and supporting base.

Fig. 5 is a fragmentary plan view of one of the supporting legs for the table.

Fig. 6 represents a fragmentary perspective view of one of the arms of the supporting base. v

Referring to the drawings in detail, wherein similar reference numerals designate correspondingl parts throughout they several views, the numeral 10 indicates generally the supporting base of the rotary table, which consists of a plurality of ra diating arms 11, having reduced outer terminals 12, adapted to be received in channels 13 formed in supporting legs 14.

The central portion of the supporti-ng base 10 is formed with a circular upstanding flange or rib 16, having an annular Specification of Letters Patent.

groove in the upper portion thereof which Y I is substantially simicircular in cross "section and receives a plurality o f bearing balls 17, which support fa frame 18 provided with an annular depending flange 19, which encircles the flange'or rib 16.y The bearing balls 17 are provided so that the table top supporting frame 18 may be easily revolved upon the supportingbase 10.

The portion of the base 10 within the flange or rib 16 is formed with a plurality of perforations 20, one'of which receives the shank'of a bolt 21, having its headed terf minal countersunk in the table top 22, and

provided at its lower end with a nut 23 to secure the table in position upon the base and prevent its accidental displacement. Adjacent its lower terminal the bolt 21 is provided with a squared portion 21a to secure f it against rotation during movement f ofthe tabletop and the body portion of the nut 22 is of circular form so as to admit it to be turned to clamp the parts of the device together. The frame structure 18 includes a plurality of radiating arms 24 to which the circular table top 22 is riveted or otherwise secured, as indicated at 25.

In use, the supporting base 10 will beV supported in an elevated position, as shown vin Fig. 2, by applying the legs 14 to the outer terminals of the Yarms 11. The table top 22 is utilized for supporting the articles to be baked and it may be conveniently rotated from time to time to change the position of the article within the oven or to bring one article, when several are placed thereon, into convenient reach of the door of the oven. v

What I claim is:

In a rotary table for ovens, a supporting base comprising a center disk and a plurality of arms radiating from the disk, feet releasv ably connected withA the end portions of the arms for holding the base in an elevated position, a bearing plate positionedupon the disk of the base, a frame structure having a central disk and arms radiating from the central disk, a table top carried by the frame structure, the central disk of the frame structure beingprovided with a bearing race positioned in operative relation to the bearing plate and having a depending Wall poand la fastener screwed upon. the threaded sitoned about the bearing plate, a pivot iower end portion of the pivot pin. 10.

pin extending through registering openings In testimony whereof I aiix my signaformed in the table top and central disk of ture in presence of ytwo Witnesses.
